Hmm...there might be a way to do this, but you'll probably have to
fiddle around to get what you need.  For example, if you need to get
the .css files for the .html page, you'd have to grab those too.

The way I might do it is:

wget --mirror -A{.ics,.html} http://...

This should go through the entire tree and grab every .ics and .html
file preserving directory structure.  I think.  Try it and see, I guess.
You can use -A and -R to accept/reject file extensions if you need
more/less.

HTH,
Matt
